What will I learn?
This Osteology Fundamentals Course provides a focused, hands-on introduction to skeletal analysis. Key topics include estimating sex and age-at-death, assessing ancestry and population affinity, exploring bone structure and biomechanics, and recognising common pathologies and trauma. Participants learn to evaluate taphonomic changes, utilise supporting tests effectively, and produce robust forensic and osteoarchaeological reports based on contemporary research and ethical guidelines.
